The US Department of Justice, The National Federation of the Blind and the American Council of the Blind announced Wednesday that use of Amazon.com's Kindle e-book reader device in the classroom
discriminates against students with vision problems.
Absurd! Students should not watch films, read books that are not
available in Braille. work with textbooks or use their iPhone. Blind
people don't need pity nor do they need to interfere with a sighted
person's life just because they think it's unfair that they can't do
things the same way. I had a doctor in Allentown PA who was blind from 4 years old, but he found a way to get a medical education and degree from John Hopkins. He didn't need a Kindle but he didn't think that you should not use one because he couldn't.
